We have a bunch of company that is coming through here this month. Jim and Gloria are starting the parade. Jim being my oldest friend back from childhood in Buffalo, NY and Gloria his wife. They both walked the Camino last summer.
Jim is a physician, retired for a few years. His father also was a doctor and was our family doctor back when I was a kid. I remember him making a house call to see me when I was seven years old and suffering with chicken pox. House calls, that’s old school.
Him and I were up at zero dark thirty this morning and have been talking up a storm trying too catch up on all the news. One thing that we talked about that may interest you is that I want to record a conversation with him about an area of my life that has not been sufficiently explored or documented. Let me try and explain.
For six years I have been wrestling with cancer and it’s associated experiences. And for six years the doctors and nurses have been recording millions of facts about my case. Not a misplaced hair goes unrecorded. All this data is available for use. That is a track that is ongoing. So, now on the other hand we have this blog which is another track which has been going on for three and a half years. Everyday I have recorded info that relates to the cancer in some way. That is track number two which is very personal in another way.
So these two tracks are moving along parallel with each other, sort of unaware of each other even though they are intimately connected. So I am asking Jim to help me connect them more closely and to possiblely explore the area between them to see what we can find. It seems this may be important someone. So, that is in the works, stay tuned.
The weather is beautiful here but chilly. Hope you are doing well. Love, Felipe.
That is great! I call it connectedness – where one can see and extract value from one thing in order to help make sense of a seemingly unrelated part of life. And it is a lot of what happens on the Way. Love enters each life and it seems that many of us figure out how to engage it. Keep us connected!
Ron ~ I never know where we are going with this stuff. We make it up as we go along. Felipe.
SO happy to hear all this creativity percolating out at Raven Ranch! Can’t wait to get to be in the mix! And I’m bringing surprises!
Annie ~ Yes, see you soon. Felipe.x
this idea occurred to me, too…I’d love to hear what Jim came up with, I feel like it could be important for many!
Catalina ~ I can’t possibly answer all your recent comments. But I will read them and think about the just the same. This comment here is about the two parallel tracks of information being laid down day by day, year by year. One highly scientific and the other highly artful. I do sense a huge area that is between them. What do do to explore it I don’t know. Rocky Raccoon.x
